“Bad, He Is Bad!”- Actor Danny Trejo Compares Gervonta Davis With Mike Tyson

Gervonta Davis is reaching new heights of success after his back-to-back big wins, which have already earned him championships in three distinct divisions. Meanwhile, people have also begun taking note of Davis’ power. Boasting off 24 KOs in 25 wins, ‘Tank’ is undoubtedly an elite knockout artist. Meanwhile, his stardom at an early age has compelled many to compare him with Mike Tyson.

American actor and restaurateur, Danny Trejo, is one of them. He believes Gervonta Davis is a “mini” version of Mike Tyson. Trejo, a hardcore combat fan, spoke with ESNEWS, saying, “Bad, he is bad…He had him. He had him by the 5 inches of that jab. But if you see Davis, Davis kept closing… Why do you think they call him Tank.?”. He concluded by agreeing with the interviewer that he viewed ‘Tank’ as a mini Mike Tyson.

Trejo’s comparison of Davis and Tyson might be valid. Both men burst into stardom at the very beginning of their careers and became world champions at a young age.
